Restaurant Review: Momocho

Last Saturday The Dude and I met up with two of his friends and their ladies for dinner at Momocho in Ohio City! I hadn't been there in three years so I was super excited to go. Apparently we had the time wrong and everyone else had to wait for a half hour. While there were waiting they ordered the smoke trout guacamole with bacon and chile poblanos along with the blue cheese guacamole withgarlic confit and chile verde. I decided to be brave and try the smoked trout. I'm not normally a fan of smoked things, but I enjoyed this guac a lot. Of course, due to my dairy allergy I could not try the bleu cheese version.

To drink I ordered a pomegranate margarita, on the rocks, with salt. Nom, nom, nom so good. It tasted like a margarita with just the right amount of pomegranate flavor. Next time I go I'll have to try a new flavor.

For my entree I had the grilled hanger steak taquito. The steak was great and I asked for a side of the original guac to go with it. The tortillas that came with were my one complaint. First off mine all had a weird slice in them so they were falling apart. Secondly their edges were very hard- as in too hard to eat. Others at the table had no problems, so I'm not sure what happened to mine. Overall the food was great and I can't wait to return!
